Defoliating - Week 6 Flower

[_EQ]

What’s up RIU family, first timer here. I’ve done some poking around on the internet to try and get a solid opinion on what I should do with an extra leafy plant. I know it’s not good to defoliating, prune, lollipop during this late into flower. But the plant is so leafy it’s blocking what I would like to believe are good tops. Any body have some input or advice for a vanilla cultivar?

I'd leave it alone if it was me.

That seems to be the consensus everywhere I read from. I’m just afraid of having a bunch of popcorn buds that would’ve grown bigger had they had more light

Why would you do that? Tuck them here n' there to get light to where its needed, but never kill off leaves that late in flower.

Popcorn buds get you high too. Next time you could lollipop before flip if you don't want the popcorn. The plants will focus only on the tops then.

Will do, next time for sure. Hopefully I end up with some decent sized buds though. Since I only have 1 plant maximizing quantity and quality is my main priority
